Functional nutrition: a non-pharmacological approach to supporting cognitive Health

This study presents evidence that functional nutrition serves as a nonpharmacological method for supporting cognitive health. Specific nutrients and dietary patterns known for their supportive effects on cognitive ability and neuroprotection, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants (vitamins C and E), polyphenols, magnesium, B vitamins, and flavonoid-rich foods, are proposed. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a functional nutrition protocol enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, B vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols as a non-pharmacological strategy for maintaining cognitive health and alleviating perceived stress. The methodology of this study is based on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates elements of nutritional science and digital behavior analysis to examine the impact of functional nutrition on cognitive functions under conditions of digital overload. The results demonstrate that such targeted dietary interventions offer a promising and specific non-pharmacological means of enhancing cognitive resilience in the context of prolonged and intensive use of digital technologies.
